I think Nash, Rondo, Jason Williams can probably make this pass. Whether they will dare to try something like that is another question but I can see them making it just from a difficulty perspective.
I am sure Ben Simmons would do this to avoid shooting.

All of them. Most of them won’t be in a position to attempt it and even if they were they probably come up with a better option as the guy just got lucky with that pass.

The real question is, how many players can actually resist the temptation of not taking the ball that travel right above your head
Echo3012
How many could not?

Don’t you mean how many can make that pass count during the NBA finals! #1 Magic Johnson
_Indeed_I_Am_
The technical ability to make the pass?
A bunch of players have that.
The attitude, confidence and wherewithal to take such a flashy route?
Fewer players, but still a bunch, especially if the game’s not on the line and/or the competition/defense isn’t on the same level.
Behind the back at full speed to the 3 point line isn’t the hardest pass in the world – if you don’t have to thread it through a tight space/put complementary spin on it (he threw it over those guys, not through them).
Most of the PGs whose names you remember from the 80s onward could probably do this, even score-first ones like Iverson.
Several SGs. Fewer SFs. Idk about PFs. Jokic for Cs and maybe Dream.

Any opportunity to praise Rajon Rondo I will take it

Majority of NBA point guards can do this.
There are people on here saying how this is an amazing pass and it is……to you. However, for a professional athlete who practices every day for hours how to pass this isn’t new. The reason you don’t see it more is because it’s only good to do in very specific occasions, any other times it’s a high risk for no reason type of play.
I will keep reminding the people in this sub that you really really need to understand how much better the coordination and physical ability of a pro athlete is compared to the average person.

Jesus Christ what a miserable thread, some of you need some sunlight and fresh air. “um ACKSHUALLY LOTS OF PLAYERS CAN MAKE THIS PASS ☝️🤓” great contribution bro. And people still wanna say that Luka is r/nba’s golden boy that doesn’t get any hate lol.

Didn’t Derozan do something similar?

Many? Hell, all of the current top-3 players can make, and probably have made, this pass: Jokic, Giannis, Luka.

A lot actually. I’ve seen Rondo make the harder version of this pass to Ray Allen.

Magic Johnson’s one that comes to mind

Magic, Steve Nash and Jason Kidd for sure.

Only few comes to mind, Nash, Magic, J will, LBJ……
Rondo, Magic, D’Angelo Russell, Bron, Nash, Kidd
I think most NBA players in the 40 years can make a behind the back pass
Luka’s career passing reel is unmatched and he’s 25
You mean missing the pass to the center and it luckily landed on your teammate in the corner?
I see a bunch of paisas in the park doing this shit all the time and making 3 point hook shots all the damn time
78
Most people ignore that Luka was indeed trying to hit his other teammate in the face, but he missed.
All NBA players can make this pass over the the future plumbers in this video
Nobody mentioning Ginobili.
A lot
i made this same pass in the men’s Y league last week…
you gonna see some shit with [Magic and Bird playing on the same team](https://youtu.be/kruHBD5HaY0?t=308)
